Game of Thrones set the bar high, but also created some acceptance. I'm excited!

Since we all (mostly) have read the books I think we won't mind pacing issues. But if this is not successful with a general non-book audience, budgets, future seasons, etc will be at risk. So we need this to work for everyone not just us!
Yeah, that's sort of why I'm personally concerned -- I feel like the books themselves had serious pacing issues, which prompted me to pretty much skim the latter half of the series. If there's one thing you should really try to nail down with the benefit of retrospect and a completed series to work with, it should be pacing. Otherwise, the writers haven't done a good job.

As far as personal enjoyment goes, I'll obviously watch and judge for myself, but it's making me nervous that a common thread is "fans might enjoy it, but others...meh" -- I definitely fall closer to the latter category these days.

... so after hearing the wheel of time plastered all over Amazon and Spotify now that the series is finally about to be out, thought I'd check in. I doubt I'll be the only one =). Think we need a reunion!

This one seems to be positive, for the most part.
